Many lenders and borrowers aren’t familiar with the full range of remedies available after a borrower defaults on a secured obligation, and the lender decides to foreclose on its collateral. Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code is a powerful, but sometimes misunderstood, tool for borrowers and lenders. This live webinar helps borrowers, lenders, and their lawyers to understand what they can and can’t do under Article 9. Lenders and their lawyers should attend this webinar to learn how to best use their rights under Article 9 to collect on defaulted obligations. Borrowers and their lawyers should attend this webinar to learn how to protect their rights against lenders who, in their zeal, may overstep the limits imposed on their powers by Article 9.

Once exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act, employees do not necessarily remain exempt for the duration of their employment. Actions taken, or not taken, by employers can and do jeopardize the exemptions claimed, leading unknowing employers down the path to potentially ruinous liability for unpaid minimum wages and overtime. This live webinar is designed to help you identify issues which jeopardize exempt status and correct them. The webinar will also address certain myths regarding what you can and cannot do. The topics to be covered will include payment on a salary basis, permissible and impermissible deductions from salary, supplementing salary with additional payments, reducing salaries or hours, required use of paid time off, performing nonexempt work and more. This live webinar will help you identify and resolve thorny problems which jeopardize exempt status.

The demand in design firms for construction specification writers has never been greater. Specification writers must master the techniques for product selection, organizing the project manual, coordinating drawings and specifications, integrating engineering specifications and more. As few colleges teach specifications, the specification writer learns their craft in design firms with a mentor, and within the ever-increasing pace of project design and construction. This live webinar is intended to cover the basics of specification writing based on our 30 years of active experience on more than 3,500 projects. We identify key issues with a look to the future, as LEED® and BIM require more precision within specifications than ever before.
